That's fine
You're definitely secure enough protection wise. Any more could cause bad conflicts which would make things worse! [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]"The internet is a great way to get on the net."

You may find that having 2 AV programs will cause problems - apart from slowing things down when they're both trying to do the same job, you will start getting false positives from quarantined items. You are better off having just one decent program, & don't forget you still need something else to detect spyware - most AVs don't do this, hence the more common use of malware suites rather than standalone programs. Finally, make sure you have a decent firewall installed as well.0

One of them is a firewall?
Aha just noticed comodo have recently started anti virus too, didn't realise!
Tallyman is spot on. Only one anti virus, and one firewall is best.[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]"The internet is a great way to get on the net."

I agree with earlier post, multiple AV programs will at some time or other will create a hiccup,
AVG Free
Lavasoft Ad Aware Free
Spysoft Seek & Destroy Free
Zone Alarm Firewall Free
